This new model features a 12,288 x 8040 full frame RGBW sensor with built in optical low pass filter, 16 stops of dynamic range, dual CFexpress media slots, all in a customizable body with flexible mounting options and side plates. Blackmagic PYXIS 12K EF features a fixed locking EF mount that works with Canon-compatible photo and cine lenses.
12K Full Frame Sensor
The camera uses a 12,288 x 8040 full frame RGBW sensor with wide format options including open gate and Super 35. This enables high-resolution capture suitable for film, visual effects, and reframing.
Canon EF Mount Support
The active locking EF mount supports Canon-compatible lenses, enabling access to a wide range of optics for different production scenarios. It is secure and reliable for both photo and cinema lenses.
Extended Dynamic Range
With 16 stops of dynamic range, the PYXIS 12K EF captures more image information across bright and dark areas. This supports better results in color correction and grading.
